Terence Crawford vs Cancelo Alvarez. Wow.

A match between Terence Crawford and Cancelo Alvarez would arouse great interest

“Look, and you know this, you know boxing, right? … At 168, people might think, ‘How can Crawford beat Canelo, that’s not possible?’” De La Hoya told ESNews.

“But in boxing a big talented fighter will beat the small talented fighter, right? That’s a given. But then people might say, you’re contradicting yourself, Pacquiao beat you. Well, I was a dead man walking already even before I got into the ring.

“In Crawford’s case, he’s a big guy but Crawford doesn’t rely on his power. He relies on his IQ. Crawford, what he did to Spence was magic. It was incredible. It was amazing. One thing about Canelo is that we all know he walks into the ring as if there’s wet cement [on his feet].

His footwork is a little too heavy. Crawford is such a smart fighter where he can just—he’s like Bruce Lee, literally. And he’s at his peak, he’s in his prime. So, I think if that fight ever happens, which I don’t think it will, if that fight ever happens, I have to go with Crawford,” De La Hoya continued as quoted by Boxing Daily. Everything depends on the Mexican's match on September 30, when he will face Jermell Charlo.

A win in that match would probably lead to that long-awaited match. We are all anxious to see what will happen on September 30.
